Virgin and Child on a Grassy Bench is a 1478 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This engraving depicts the Virgin Mary sitting on a grassy bench, cradling the infant Jesus in her arms. The Virgin's long, wavy hair cascades down her back, and she wears a flowing robe. A halo encircles her head, while the baby Jesus reaches up to her face. In the background, a serene landscape unfolds, featuring rolling hills, a body of water, and a few trees. The engraving showcases intricate cross-hatching, which adds depth and texture to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate folds of the Virgin's robe and the gentle expression on her face.
